How should I clean it INITIALLY? Afraid no amt of soap &amp; water will get out all of the granite dust. I don't want to grind dust into my gomasio. :-)

It's a pretty easy process. First spray the whole thing down with water obviously paying special attention to the inside. Then you can soak it for a little while an hour or so should work. Then dry it out and vigorously crush up some sea salt by itself then toss it. At that point have you'll have eliminated most of the 'granite dust' and you can feel free to grind away.

Take it apart and clean with mineral sprits. Clean each part good, it is easy for it comes apart real good.

I agree with the others concerning warm soap and water. I would think a damp paper towel or rag would also do the trick. I've had mine for several months now and it doesn't seem to collect dust. I've just taken the covers (I own several) outside and shake them. If there's any dust, I'd assume it comes off then, although I've honestly not noticed dust coming off, but I do it just incase. By shaking them out, I don't need to wait for them to dry.

I just followed the directions. I took a damp paper towel and a small amount of dish soap and cleaned it. I took more damp towels and wiped it to rinse. Then I took a small amount of shortening and lightly covered it. It worked fine for me by doing that. There are instructions online too. If you Google "care of the mat" it will come up. I've had no issues with mine.

Sorry I can't help you. I've only used mine a couple of times and have had no problem cleaning it. Did you grease and/or flour the pan first?

There are several methods of cleaning care on google. I used water pressure cleaner we have. But you can use car wash. Don't use soap. Let it dry thouroly. Then use rice and grind all over well of molcajete with hand held moter stone until no more loose stones rub off. This is a must. You don't want pieces of lava in you sauces. Very time consuming but very worth it.

itll take a weekend.... after the countertop has been prepped and most of that time will be waiting for the basecoat/ clearcoat to cure. itll be soft for a week but gently useable. its very messy sprinkling the granite looking flakes but covering the floor and a little vaccuuming will take care of it how fast it gets hard depends on temp and humidity. in a hurry? crank the heat for a few days

Let it cool, then wipe with damp rag. Simple.Here's the manual: http://www.brevilleusa.com/media/mediaappearance/13483/BSG1974XL_IB_A12_LowRes.pdf

If you use tap/hard water, you will get a calcium build-up after awhile and it will need to be cleaned. I would suggest using distilled water.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

While cleaning it's best to shake off accumulated dust in a wastebasket. Good news is this duster really picks up lots of particles. For a thorough cleaning just add a drop of detergent to warm (not hot) water in the sink and submerge for a few minutes. Rinse in cool water. Use a dry, terrycloth towel press to release water (don't scrub) then air dry. This is a great product!

We just use dish soap. A light coat of vegetable oil with a paper towel gives it back its deep dark color. Try it! My wife says nothing else works, although I've thought about granite clean and shine.

If you go to Giani Granite's website, under the FAQ's for how to care for it, it says "All you have to do is clean and disinfect the GIANI - as needed - with a mild Anti-bacterial soap, warm water and a soft cloth."

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

The oven doesn't really get dirty but the stone does. A simple wipe down of the stone does the trick. I only use a paper towel so it's really easy.

Granite is not sealed at the factory. It is sealed after it is installed. Be sure to use an appropriate sealer if your installers did not do that for you.

I'm actually not sure about that one... The grinder is "stone" so water SHOULD be fine... But I don't know. I've washed out the receptacle part but haven't felt the need to clean the grinder yet.
